Bradford Central School District

Congratulations Mason on being named the Student of the Month in your BOCES Heavy Equipment program. We are proud of you!

Reminder, there is a vaccination clinic being offered to anyone age 5 and older today at the school between 9am and noon. Both Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are available and this clinic can accommodate initial and booster vaccinations. Thank you.

Dear Air Supply, If a parent/guardian calls the school today at (607) 583-4616 can they still schedule a time to meet with their child’s teacher on this Parent/Teacher Conference Day? Anxiously awaiting your response. Thank you.

What is Veterans Day? Veterans Day is an American holiday that honors the men and women who have served honorably in the U.S. military. Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day (celebrated the final Monday in May), which honors members of the military who died while serving. Veterans Day originated on November 11, 1919, when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it Armistice Day to honor veterans of World War I.

You may have heard about a new program called “Test to Stay” which allows a path for students who have been deemed a close contact of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, to remain in school. This program must be adopted by the local department of health and county government before a school could consider its implementation. As of now Schuyler County has not approved this program, but it is under consideration. If this program is adopted by our county we will share out specifics with our families.

This event can accommodate both initial vaccinations and/or booster shots. More information about this clinic will be shared with our community soon. Unfortunately today we saw our first positive cases of COVID-19 in quite some time. Let this serve as a reminder that the threat of COVID-19 is still very real and we need to remain vigilant in our precautions to keep one another safe and minimize disruption in schooling. Our local public health department recommends that wearing a mask, becoming vaccinated and disinfecting are all steps that can accomplish these goals. Thank you to everyone for your continued support of our students and district. Go Braves! John Marshall Superintendent
